About this school
Nakornpayap International School (NIS) was founded in 1993 and describes itself as the oldest secular international school in Chiang Mai. It is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and is located in San Phi Sua, in the north of the city.
NIS has four sections:
- Early Childhood (K1–K3, ages 3–5)
- Elementary School (Grades 1–5)
- Middle School (Grades 6–8)
- High School (Grades 9–12)
The curriculum is based on US Common Core standards, and high school students can take Advanced Placement courses. Early Years children have specialist classes in music, art, movement, PE and swimming, plus field trips and cultural events.
The school's motto is "Education Through Diversity", and its community includes many nationalities. It reports more than 200 academic and enrichment opportunities. Parents, teachers and older students are encouraged to support younger learners, for example through the PTSA and mentoring programmes.
